“If we look back at the games that we tied or lost in the last five minutes, with those points, we would easily be at the top of the table. But I don’t like to look back, we need to look forward and make sure that every game is a battle and be sure to as get as much points as possible.”

- LA Galaxy Goalkeeper Carlo Cudicini.

MATCHUPS TO WATCH:

ROBBIE ROGERS vs. TYSON WAHL

Facing his old club, Rogers is expected to be plenty motivated to bag his first goal with the LA Galaxy and he should have plenty of opportunities against Wahl. Look for Rogers to use his speed on and off the ball to get behind Wahl and create scoring chances for himself and his LA teammates.

JUNINHO vs. MATIAS SANCHEZ

Back from suspension, the Crew midfield will be bolstered by the return of the Argentine defensive midfielder. Not only does Sanchez attempt to break up chances, but he'll also try to get forward to open up space for the likes of playmaker Frederico Higuain.

DOMINIC ODURO vs. A.J. DELAGARZA

A match of speed, DeLaGarza will be expected to use his quickness to match up with the quick Ghanaian. Although no one is expecting DeLaGarza to beat Oduro in a foot race, if LA’s defense can stay organized, they may be able to put the brakes on the fleet-footed Crew forward.
